Yes, SMS is always an option, but GPRS is cheaper, so it'd be good to be able to use it when possible, at least when there's a lot of WAP Push, for example as part of an online game or other. It could also be the case that the application knows the MSISDN, but doesn't know the IP of the phone to send to. > > a) PI sends push msg to PPG > b) PPG tries to resolve MSISDN into IP (from RADIUS acct mapping) > c) if MSISDN is online at this time, PPG is able to address the push > message via IP > d) if it's not online, utilize SMS bearer to push the message > (this is > the current default behavior for MSISDN targets) Now that would obviously be even more sexy! It'd be excellent, in fact... Lars
